Levee update: Castlemaine and Campbells Creek – August 2023

Published on 01 August 2023

Mount Alexander Shire Council is in the process of delivering, upgrading and re-establishing levee banks to Castlemaine and Campbells Creek.

Levee banks and waterway improvements will considerably reduce the impact of major flood events on nearby homes, businesses and community assets.

The Detailed Design has been awarded to Stantec, a Melbourne based consultancy. An initial meeting between Council and the consultant was held to ensure milestones and their dates were defined.

Consultants and their contractors will be on site in the coming months to assess the levee locations for vegetation, services and accessibility to then determine final detailed designs for each levee for their specific location.

Once this is complete, Council will progress to the delivery stage, which includes construction of the levees.
